Summary
On this episode of The Athletic Football Show, Michael Beller and Derek VanRiper break down the Week 13 DFS slate. They discuss building lineups around an elite back or receiver, finally paying up for a quarterback, the desire to get invested in Browns-Titans, and more.
Later, Beller and Vic Tafur run through the slate from a gambling standpoint, highlighting their favorite picks against the spread. Can the Raiders bounce back against the Jets? Will Taysom Hill hit his first speed bump as a starter in Atlanta? Can the Browns spring an upset on the Titans—or at least keep it within 5.5 points? Will the Packers run away from the Eagles? Can the Bills take care of business against the 49ers? The guys answer those questions, and a whole lot more.
